Definitions

  • the invention relates to bearing materials of porous SiC having a trimodal pore composition and also a process for their production.
  • Dense sintered SiC has high hardness, high-temperature strength, high thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, oxidation resistance, and also high abrasion and corrosion resistance. It also has a very good tribological behavior which means the frictional and wear behavior with and without lubrication. For this reason, sintered pure SiC has been introduced as an almost ideal material for sliding bearings and, in particular, seal rings subject to wear stresses and in these applications has displaced other materials such as, for example, aluminum oxide or cemented carbide. Particularly in water pumps in the automobile industry, the use of mass produced seal rings of sintered SiC is achieving an ever greater market share.
  • the macropores introduced into the SiC microstructure have to be present as individual pores since only then can a hydraulic pressure build up in the pore.
  • Continuous channel pores (open porosity) are definitely to be avoided in the bearing material because of leakage requirements.
  • limits are placed on the level of the porosity (% by volume) and, in particular, on the pore size.
  • porous SiC sintered bodies having a total porosity of 4-14% by volume are proposed for seal rings.
  • the pores in these pressureless-sintered SiC bodies are independent of one another and closed and have a smoothly rounded surface and also a mean pore size of 10-40 ⁇ m. They are produced either by means of sintering techniques (starting with a mixture of fine and coarse SiC powders or by incomplete sintering) or preferably by incorporation of plastic spheres in the SiC compact and subsequently pyrolysis of the spheres.
  • a particular total porosity and mean pore size can be set in a targeted manner via the amount and size of the plastic spheres.
  • the mean pore size of 10-40 ⁇ m in the resulting SiC sintered body is, in particular, of decisive importance for tribological applications as a seal ring: porous SiC sintered bodies having a mean pore size of ⁇ 10 ⁇ m are disadvantageous as bearing elements because the lubricant pocket effect is too low in the case of small pores.
  • porous SiC sintered bodies having a mean pore size >40 ⁇ m should also be unsuitable for sliding rings because of, inter alia, early leakage (permeability) of the floating-ring seal and increased ring wear.
  • the European Patent Application EP-A-486336 of the Company Ceramiques et Composites discloses coarse-pored SiC bearing elements having a total porosity of 4-18% by volume and mean pore sizes in the range of 40-200 ⁇ m, which elements have been produced by means of pressureless sintering from sinterable SiC powders likewise with a pore-forming addition in the form of plastic spheres.
  • mean pore sizes of 60-100 ⁇ m and total porosities of 8-15% by volume are preferred for the tribological use of this "coarse-pored silicon carbide". No indication is given of the strength of these coarse-pored SiC sintered bodies.
  • the SiC bearing materials described in this EP application can meet the sealing and wear requirements for the low pressure range, i.e., for small pressure differences to be sealed such as, for example, 1 bar (see Example 1 of EP-A-486336), they do not meet the requirements in the pressure range ⁇ 10 bar. Since at mean pore sizes in the preferred range of 60-100 ⁇ m and the simultaneously high total porosity in the range of 8-15% by volume the SiC component strength is considerably reduced, tight limits are also placed on the use of this coarse-pored SiC as sliding ring and counter ring in hard/hard couples.
  • WO 93/25495 of the Carborundum Company, USA discloses fine-pored SiC sintered bodies having a porosity of from 3 to 15% by volume, with the pores being non-uniformly shaped and having a maximum size of from about 3 to 5 ⁇ m and a ratio of length to width (aspect ratio) of from 1:1 to 3:1.
  • These sintered bodies are produced using SiC having a bimodal particle size distribution, i.e., mixtures of two SiC powders having a differing mean particle size.
  • a fine sinter-active SiC powder having a mean particle size of 0.5 ⁇ m is mixed with a less sinter-active coarse SIC powder having a mean particle size of 3 ⁇ m.
  • EP-A-578408 of the Carborundum Company, USA discloses coarse-pored SiC sintered bodies having a porosity of from 2 to 12% by volume, in which the pores are spherical in shape and have a diameter of from 50 to 500 ⁇ m. These coarse-pored SiC sintered bodies have essentially already been described by EP-A-486336 of Ceramiques et Composites.
  • a porous bearing material of pressureless-sintered SiC having from 3 to 10% by volume or independent closed pores where the material has a tripodal pore composition consisting of micropores (M), fiber-shaped macropores (F) and spherical macropores (S), whose amounts in the pore system F-M-S (FIG. 1) are fixed by the trapezoidal area having the corner points:
  • the micropores have a diameter of less than or equal to 5 ⁇ m and the fiber-shaped macropores have a diameter of less than or equal to 30 ⁇ m and a length of less than or equal to 80 ⁇ m and the spherical macropores have a diameter of less than or equal to 70 ⁇ m, and the flexural strength is at least 250 MN/m 2 .
  • the micropores have a pore size distribution of from 0.1 ⁇ m to 5 ⁇ m.
  • the aspect ratio of the fiber-shaped macropores is preferably from 2:1 to 50:1 and, in general, from 2:1 to 20:1.
  • the spherical macropores preferably have a size distribution of from 30 to 70 ⁇ m, particularly, preferably, a size distribution of from 40 to 60 ⁇ m.
  • the dense SiC matrix present in addition to the pores comprises ⁇ -silicon carbide containing up to 2% by weight (total) or elemental carbon, aluminum and/or boron, with the ⁇ -SiC preferably being present in the form of prismatic, tabular crystallites having a mean particle size ⁇ 50 ⁇ m.
  • FIG. 2 The schematic cross section of the material is shown in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 1 is a ternary system depicting the volume percent composition of micropores (M), fiber pores (F) and spherical macropores (S)
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic, cross-sectional view of the SiC material depicting the three-types of pores.
  • FIG. 3 is an optical micrograph of a polished section of a sintered sliding ring of ⁇ -SiC with additives forming fiber and spherical pores as well as macropores.
  • the SiC starting powder used is advantageously commercial ⁇ -SiC having a particle size distribution ⁇ 5 ⁇ m, preferably ⁇ 3 ⁇ m, and a specific surface area of 10-15 m 2 /g (measured by the BET method), and a purity of at least 99.5%, based on the metallic impurities.
  • Fiber materials which can be used are comminuted and size-classified synthetic or plant fibers such as, for example, cotton, flax, woodpulp or cellulose fibers, polyamide, polyester and polyacrylonitrile fibers, with pure cellulose fibers having been found to be particularly useful.
  • Suitable sphere materials are thermoplastic and thermoset plastics such as, for example, polymethacrylates, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyamides and bakelite. Preference is given to using polymethacrylate spheres, in particular poly(methyl methacrylate) spheres (PMMA), in a narrow size distribution.
  • polymethacrylates polyethylene, polystyrene, polyamides and bakelite.
  • PMMA poly(methyl methacrylate) spheres
  • the total amount of the additives forming fiber pores and spherical pores, their relative proportions and their size distribution are of decisive importance for the production and properties of the SiC bearing materials of the invention.
  • the additives forming fiber pores preferably have a length of from 15 to 90 ⁇ m and a diameter of from 8 to 30 ⁇ m. Particularly preferred are lengths of from 30 to 80 ⁇ m. and diameters of from 10 to 25 ⁇ m.
  • the additives forming spherical pores preferably have a sphere diameter of from 40 to 80 ⁇ m. A diameter range of from 50 to 70 ⁇ m is particularly preferred.
  • Spheres having a diameter of >80 ⁇ m should be avoided since, in the shaping process, they can lead to green bodies containing cracks.
  • the size distribution of the additives forming macropores is of great importance for achieving the properties, in particular the strength properties, of the bearing elements of the invention.
  • a flexural strength of the bearing materials of >250 MN/m 2 which is required for critical specific component stressing, can no longer be achieved. This can be attributed to the presence of a few macropores having diameters of >100 ⁇ m and acting as critical flaws and/or cracks linking the pores.
  • the relative proportions of the additives forming the fiber pores and spherical pores are selected in such a way that the weight ratios of short fibers: spheres are between 9:1 and 1:9. The best results are achieved in the range of short fibers: spheres of from 4:1 to 1:4.
  • the SiC starting powder is processed in a manner known per se together with up to 7% by weight of customary sintering additives and pressing aids to give a slip and is subsequently processed in a suitable manner, for example, by spray drying of the pre-prepared slip, to give a free-flowing granular material.
  • Suitable sintering additives are, for example, elemental carbon, elemental aluminum, elemental boron, aluminum nitride and boron carbide, with elemental carbon in the form of particulate graphite or carbon black and finely divided aluminum nitride powder having been found to be particularly useful.
  • Suitable pressing aids are, for example, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, aluminum stearate, polyacrylate, polyether and sugar.
  • polyvinyl alcohol obtainable under the name Poiyviol from Wacker-Chemie GmbH, Kunststoff is used together with sugar (saccharose) as a pressing aid.
  • the organic additives giving macropores in the form of organic short fibers and spheres of narrow size distribution in an amount of preferably 1-3.5 parts by weight based on the SiC powder doped with the sintering aids. It is mixed until a homogeneous, ready-to-press mixture has been formed. This can be done, for example, in a dry mixer.
  • the ready-to-press mixture Is subsequently pressed and shaped, for example by axial die pressing or isostatic pressing, to give green bodies. It has here been surprisingly found that the ready-to-press SiC mixtures of the invention which contain fibers offer pressing advantages in comparison with those mixtures not containing fibers (e.g. mixtures containing exclusively spheres as macropore-forming additive or mixtures without macropore-forming additive). In die pressing, the fiber content reduces the springback and crack formation of the pressed bodies, giving "fiber-reinforced green bodies" having a fracture strength which is from about 20 to 60% greater than the fracture strength without fibers.
  • the pressed shaped bodies are subsequently subjected to heat treatment for from 10 to 24 hours at temperatures in the range between 100° and 1000° C. in the presence of an inert atmosphere, to remove the pressing aids and to pyrolyze the additives forming pores.
  • the preheated shaped bodies are pressureless-sintered at a temperature of 2000°-2100° C. in the presence of a protective gas atmosphere or in a vacuum for from 20 to 60 minutes until the SiC bearing element of the invention is formed.
  • the shaped bodies and the macropores undergo a shrinkage of 17-19%, based on the diameter of the pressed body or the macropores present therein, and there are formed the micropores having a size distribution ⁇ 5 ⁇ m, whose proportion by volume can be set in a manner known per se via the pressed density and the sintering parameters (final temperature/hold time).
  • the SiC sintered bodies produced by the process of the invention have a total porosity of 3-10% by volume and a flexural strength of above 250 MN/m 2 .
  • porous SiC bearing materials can be used as seal rings in axial mechanical face seals in the pairing hard/soft against graphite or in the pairing hard/hard against themselves. They are likewise suitable for the production of shaft protection sleeves and components for sliding bearings whose wear resistance and reliability are to be improved.
  • the pore composition i.e., the percentages of the fiber pores, spherical pores and micropores, and also the pore size distribution of the macropores, were determined ceramographically by means of a semi-automatic image analysis using unetched micrographs of polished sections of the bearing elements.
  • FIG. 1 shows the trapezoidal area of the pore composition of the invention in the ternary pore system micropores (M), fiber-shaped macropores (F) and spherical macropores (S) (F-M-S), with the corner points in the system corresponding to the following limiting values of the pore composition:
  • FIG. 2 shows the schematic cross section of the bearing material of the invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows the microstructure of a sintered body obtained by pressureless sintering of ⁇ -SiC with additives forming fiber and spherical pores and having a sintered density of 3.02 g/cm 3 , a flexural strength of 310 MN/m 2 , a total porosity of 5.3% by volume and the pore composition 38% fiber pores--42% spherical pores--20% micropores.
  • the spherical macropores have a diameter of less than or equal to 60 ⁇ m.
  • the fiber-shaped macropores have diameters of less than or equal to 20 ⁇ m and lengths of less than or equal to 70 ⁇ m.
  • the diameter of the micropores is less than or equal to 5 ⁇ m.
  • the starting material used was a fine ⁇ -SiC sinterable powder having a mean particle size of 0.6 ⁇ m and a specific surface area of 12 m 2 per gram.
  • the residual oxygen content was 0.6% by weight.
  • An aqueous slip having the following formulation was prepared:
  • the pressed parts were thereupon preheated to 800° C. under a stream of protective argon gas in a carbonization furnace for 12 hours for the gentle removal of the lubricants and binders and also for the slow pyrolysis of the organic pore formers.
  • the debinderized seal rings were sintered in graphite crucibles which were placed in the heating zone of a graphite tube furnace for 30 minutes at 2050° C. and a rough vacuum of 20 mbar.
  • the sintered bodies having a theoretical density of 3.19 g per cm 3 underwent an 18% linear shrinkage based on the diameter of the rings and had a sintered density of, on average, 3.02 g per cm 3 , corresponding to a total porosity of 5.3% by volume.
  • FIG. 3 shows an optical micrograph on a magnification of 1:100 of a polished section of a sintered seal ring.
  • the three different types of pores can be clearly recognized as black areas or dots.
  • Image analysis gave a fiber pore content of 38%, a spherical pore content of 42% and a micropore content of 20%.
  • the SiC microstructure developed after plasma etching shows SiC crystallites having a mean size of 30 ⁇ m.
  • SiC seal rings were produced in the same way as in Example 1, except that the total amount and the weight ratio to one another of the pore-forming additives cellulose and PMMA plastic spheres were varied (Examples 2 and 3), the PMMA additive producing spherical macropores was used exclusively as pore former (Example 4) or no macropore-forming additive was used at all (Example 5). In the latter case, i.e. without pore-forming additive, the dense SSiC standard material results. Examples 2-3 relate to the bearing material of the invention with the pore composition (proportions of fiber pores/spherical pores/micropores) and the total porosity being varied. Examples 4 and 5 are comparative examples with materials known from the prior art.
  • the comparative test bench results show overall that in the SiC bearing material of the invention, there is available a tribologically optimized material which allows sliding couples of SiC/graphite and SiC/SiC in floating-ring seals to be subjected to higher wear stresses than is possible for standard materials.
